into the everyday life of the Second Ward,’ he continues. ‘Inspired by science and powered by renewable energy, the artwork is a bridge between art and technology, and encourages educational purposes while improving public space.’
The project has been made possible by the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI), a
non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing climate solutions through art and design.
LAGI’s vision of the transition to renewable energy is one in which artists and designers play a key role in bringing green technologies into landscapes and cities, using solar modules and other clean
tech as media for creative expression and placemaking. Since 2008, they have been holding open call international design competitions for cities around the world and have amassed a portfolio of thousands of ideas ‘to demonstrate how renewable energy can be beautiful’. riccardomariano.com/arch-of-time
